- Gopro updates the maximum 360 -degree camera with modest hardware updates
- New 360 modes added to the Gopro Quik application, including monitoring of objects
- A significant drop in prices reduces the price of the list to $ 349.99 / £ 349.99 / $ 599.95
Gopro announced a 360 -degree camera, but it is not the max 2 that we expect years. No, it is a maximum refreshed with a few material adjustments – and a very welcome price drop.
The new camera has an improved mounting system for compatibility with all the tripod 1 / 4-20 media, as well as the latest Gopro Enduro battery for better battery life – and all this is new. However, the maximum “new” comes with a significant price drop, with a new list price of $ 349.99 / £ 349.99 $ 599.95 in.
He has the same skills in creating images as the maximum of origin, including the 5.6K video of his twin objectives with complete 360 degree coverage. However, Gopro has improved its QUIK application for the max with new 360 -degree features, including monitoring of objects supplied with neat AI which keeps your subject selected at the center of the action.
We have not yet tried the new modes of the application, but 360 -degree video changes can be a time well, so all the intelligent features that simplify the process are welcome.
Refresh a five -year -old camera with minor material adjustments, in the middle of the backdrop of a very delayed successor, looks like a confusing decision on the part of Gopro. So what should we do maximum recovery?
Will we never see the GoPro Max 2?
The largest news here is the drop in prices compared to the maximum original – a decrease of about a third. Gopro’s hand was forced here because its maximum dated camera previously cost the same thing as the Insta360 X4, the best 360 degree camera available with powerful features, including an 8K video.
We look forward to giving a spin to the improved quik application – in addition to monitoring intelligent objects, it also offers a key frame to define specific views, camerafx for movie camera movements, smooth car transitions between clips , changes to single clips and a frame – Enter the tool to export fixed images from your video clips. Combined, these new skills could offer an experience to publish Insta360 beats.
However, the refreshment of the max is only increasing the question – where is Max 2? It has been delayed many times, and we are wondering if it will ever materialize.
I always hope that we will see the brand new 360 -degree camera from Gopro in 2025 – and at this stage, it should be a big upgrade, with an 8K video and more to compete effectively with the X4 of Insta360. The main manufacturer of action cameras generally records its most exciting launches for September, which could be a realistic scenario – we will be sure to share all the max 2 updates as we get them.
